The ongoing stupidity of Home Secretary Priti Patel

Damn it if he had only listen to me

it would make the ban user listed more interesting
 
Later today Ms Patel will kill the travel industry. She will announce a quarantine period for arrivals to the UK that should have come about in March. Right now countries that did so in March are about to lift it, but we shall just begin. Of course FlyBe has already gone, and the airports it served were massively damaged by that, now Virgin looks set to be on a knife edge, P&O Ferries too, Eurostar will be shot, hotels and tour operators will be folding, the CAA will need to refund all ATOL protected holidays and so on.

For once it is not wholly Patel’s stupidity that will do this damage, this is Johnson, Hancock and the other dicks in government bowing to the screaming headlines of The Mail et al.

Conservative estimates are if this lasts more than a month it will cost more than one million jobs in the UK.

Joy.
 
Yesterday's Mirror had it that she was in trouble - to the point of being at risk of the chop - for not defending Cummings over his jaunt up north, but there wasn't much sign of it today. More's the pity.
